About This Item
Synopsis
The gloriously witty, hugely ambitious and compulsively readable novel from award-winning writer Adam Mars-Jones. Cedilla continues the history of John Cromer begun by Pilcrow, described by the London Review of Books as ""peculiar, original, utterly idiosyncratic"" and by the Sunday Times as ""truly exhilarating"". In Cedilla John Cromer, the classic outsider - a gay, wheelchair-bound teenager - launches himself into the world of mainstream education, from grammar school to Cambridge in the early 1970s, and comes upon deeper joys, subtler setbacks. John observes everything, from the recipes of the time to the behaviour of a vast and entertaining cast of characters, including his fellow students and long-suffering parents. He even manages to take a trip to India, to visit the ashram of his guru, and details his obsessions with the popular culture of the early seventies in devastatingly funny detail. Cedilla is an epic of detailed observation and a life-changing read.
